The purpose of this study was to measure the ability of nurses to identify the severity of trauma and evaluate the improvement in their abilities after an intervention in the form of learning and simulation.MethodThe method used in this study is a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design approach.

The sampling technique used is purposive sampling.ResultsPretest data on the ability of nurses to identify the severity of trauma showed that most (68%) were in the poor category. Posttest data on the ability of nurses to identify the severity of trauma showed that most (84%) were in the Good Category.AnalysisAnalysis of the data used in this study using the Wilcoxon sign Rank test showed the value of the 2 tiled sign of 0.000. This shows that there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest data.DiscussionNurse's ability to identify severity. Measurements were carried out and identified based on the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains.
